Can an officer in the civil service be removed from office without cause?
Civil servants enjoy robust constitutional protection regarding their ongoing tenure of office. No officer or employee of the civil service shall be removed or suspended without valid justification. Such removal or suspension can only legally occur for cause as provided by law. This critical security of tenure is guaranteed by Article IX, B, Section 2 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(3) No officer or employee of the civil service shall be removed or suspended except for cause provided by law.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
